    Views[642] Conversation with two older ladies trying to stay cool outside the kasetsu. Most of these places have 12x12' areas which is their bedroom and living room if the have to close a room off because of mold. Views[221] Bonsai classes held at a kasetsu. The bonsai teacher had his house repaired after tsunami by Samaritan's purse and he got to know the Christians. He is open to the Gospel due tobtheir work. He volunteered to help the Christians start classes to give the people some activity to do since the people are depressed about housing and the mold that is growing in their places which causes resipratory problems too.

    Children of workers who were drawing on crafts donated by friends in the US as we took care of them. Views[153] Evening sharing by a LA team member from Palos Verde Baptist church. Every few days new people come to stay at the volunteer house. They may come for a week or just days. The volunteers come from the largest town of Sendai or further but most are Christians serving the coastal areas that got damaged. There are so many organizations trying to help the people and spread the Gospel that it is hard to keep track of all of them but they try to share their needs and the volunteers. Views[175] Children of ladies who make jewelry from shards of ceramic broken by tsunami. My group of 4 ladies plus one Guy from an LA team watched the kids since the women could not afford day care. These ladies only make $8.00an hour with the Nozomi project. Most jobs are seasonal like shucking oysters or fish packing. This is one job where the women can work during the day while the Kids are in school and leave to pick up kids right as school gets out. We were able to use crafts given by a friend and crafts from my church leftover from previous vacation Bible schools.
